“Whoa! Dinner at Danielle’s? How’d you score a date with her? She’s a looker!” Eddie said as they rounded the corner in his golf cart. Why on earth he’d agreed to accept a ride from Eddie was beyond him. He always regretted rides with Eddie because they resulted in mild whiplash.

“It’s not a date. She wants to talk about work stuff.”

Eddie chuckled. “It’s been my experience that work stuff is discussed at the office, my dear friend. That lady invited you to her house, and she’s cooking? You might as well buy a ring and propose!”

Bennett rolled his eyes. From the day he’d hired Eddie, he’d questioned his judgement. Eddie did a great job, no doubt about that. Still, he was the biggest busybody on the island, and there’d been so many near-misses with him driving the golf cart that Bennett had lost count.

“Don’t you go around spreading false rumors about me and Miss Wright.”

“Miss Wright. Even the name has ‘future wife’ written all over it!” He cackled at his own joke before coming to a screeching stop to let some very slow bingo players cross the street. Janice, with her big pink bun, stopped in the road and shook her finger at Eddie.

“How many times have I told you to stop speeding around this island? I swear, I’m going to find a switch and skin your hide, Eddie!” She held up her shiny silver cane and waved it in the air before finishing her walk across the street.

Eddie sheepishly looked over at Bennett. “She has a point.”

“Maybe so,” Eddie said, as they continued - albeit a bit slower - down the road. “So, do you like Danielle?”

“Of course I like her. She’s an exceptional nurse and a nice person.”

Eddie looked at him and laughed. “You know exactly what I mean, boss. Do you like her?”

“She’s my employee, Eddie.”

“You’re not answering my question.” He pulled up in front of Danielle’s cottage and looked at Bennett.

“My life is Wisteria Island. You know that. Romantic entanglements are not my thing.”

“You’re a young guy, Bennett. It’d be nice to see you happy with a good woman and maybe some kiddos.”

Bennett smiled and smacked Eddie on the shoulder. “Well, my friend, I’ve learned that we can’t always have what we want. Money definitely doesn’t buy happiness and believe me I’ve tried.”

He stepped out of the golf cart and waved at Eddie as he flew off down the road and out of sight. As he looked at Danielle’s door, he steeled himself for whatever she had up her sleeve.
